Michigan Math Standards - 6th Grade

MathScore aligns to the Michigan Math Standards for 6th Grade.
The standards appear below along with the MathScore topics that match. If you
click on a topic name, you will see sample problems at varying degrees of
difficulty that MathScore generated. When students use our program, the
difficulty of the problems will automatically adapt based on individual
performance, resulting in not only true differentiated instruction, but a
challenging game-like experience.

Understand rational numbers and their location on the number line:
N.ME.06.17 Locate negative rational numbers (including integers) on the number line; know that numbers and their negatives add to 0, and are on opposite sides and at equal distance from 0 on a number line.
(Number Line
, Compare Integers
)
N.ME.06.18 Understand that rational numbers are quotients of integers (non-zero denominators), e.g., a rational number is either a fraction or a negative fraction.
N.ME.06.19 Understand that 0 is an integer that is neither negative nor positive.
N.ME.06.20 Know that the absolute value of a number is the value of the number, ignoring the sign; or is the distance of the number from 0.

Algebra

Calculate rates:
A.PA.06.01 Solve applied problems involving rates, including speed, e.g., if a car is going 50 mph, how far will it go in 3 1/2 hours?
(Distance, Rate, and Time
)

Understand the coordinate plane:
A.RP.06.02 Plot ordered pairs of integers and use ordered pairs of integers to identify points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane.

Solve equations:
A.FO.06.11 Relate simple linear equations with integer coefficients to particular contexts, e.g., 3x = 8 or x + 5 = 10, and solve.
(Algebraic Word Problems
)
A.FO.06.12 Understand that adding or subtracting the same number to both sides of an equation creates a new equation that has the same solution.
A.FO.06.13 Understand that multiplying or dividing both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number creates a new equation that has the same solutions.
A.FO.06.14 Solve equations of the form ax + b = c, e.g., 3x + 8 = 15, by hand for positive integer coefficients less than 20, using calculators otherwise, and interpret the results.

Find volume and surface area:
M.PS.06.02 Draw patterns (of faces) for a cube and rectangular prism that, when cut, will cover the solid exactly (nets).
M.TE.06.03 Compute the volume and surface area of cubes and rectangular prisms given the lengths of their sides, using formulas.
(Rectangular Solids
)

Understand the concept of congruence and basic transformations:
G.GS.06.02 Understand that for polygons, congruence means corresponding sides and angles have equal measures.
(Congruent And Similar Triangles
)
G.TR.06.03 Understand the basic rigid motions in the plane (reflections, rotations, translations), relate these to congruence, and apply them to solve problems.
(Translations and Reflections
)
G.TR.06.04 Understand and use simple compositions of basic rigid transformations, e.g., a translation followed by a reflection.

Data and Probability

Understand the concept of probability and solve problems:
D.PR.06.01 Express probabilities as fractions, decimals or percentages between 0 and 1; know that 0 probability means an event will not occur, and that probability 1 means an event will occur.
(Probability
)
D.PR.06.02 Compute probabilities of events from simple experiments with equally likely outcomes, e.g., tossing dice, flipping coins, spinning spinners, by listing all possibilities and finding the fraction that meets given conditions.
